I couldn't agree more! And while Rich has done a wonderful job, don't minimize your contribution, JR. You started the site when eBay was still strong, and next-to-no one but you, me, and a very few others saw that their insatiable greed would lead to their downfall, and you took action when others were just "talk".
I hope that eBay latest massive price increase will start another round of dealers listing on MoviePosterBid. It is fine for Rich to do his own auctions, but there is also plenty of room for lots of other sellers listing items themselves. If lots more dealers give it a try it can become a real alternative to the dying eBay.
